Health and safety are the integral parts of any business, and there is a significant number of different accreditation schemes that can highlight the best practice and competence of a company in workplace health and safety.
In the construction and utility industry, health and safety assessments are required to decide and establish the abilities and standards of an organization to meet different requirements. To support single standards for health and safety for the contractor’s safety evaluation SSIP plays its role. To create a sense of uniformity among companies about the mutual understanding and recognition between the health and safety schemes, a proper organization plays its role.
SSIP – streamlining the process of health and safety management:
SSIP is the most affordable mean of achieving health and safety approval. SSIP stands for Safety Schemes In Procurement, and it is a non-profitable organization that creates recognition and mutual understanding between a variety of health and safety schemes to avoid the repetition of the full assessment process for multiple health and safety assessment schemes.
SSIP certification authorizes an impressive level of workplace health and safety management. It also indicates the ongoing commitment of a company to the best practice of health and safety management in an organization and protection level for staff and contractors.
